Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit Tim23 (UniProt: O14925) is encoded by the TIMM23 (also known as TIM23) gene (Gene ID: 100287932) in human. It is a multi-pass mitochondrial membrane protein that is shown to be an essential component of the TIM23 complex and is involved in the translocation of transit peptide-containing proteins across the mitochondrial inner membrane. It has three transmembrane domains (aa 73-93; 125-145; and 181-197). Tim23 serves as the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the inner mitochondrial membrane complex that mediates preprotein translocation across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Upon mitochondrial depolarization, it is reported to interact with PINK1, and this interaction is essential for PINK1 accumulation at the outer mitochondrial membrane, kinase activation by autophosphorylation and PRKN recruitment to mitochondria. In this process it has a role in the activation of stress-induced mitophagy by protecting PINK1 from OMA1-mediated degradation and facilitating its accumulation at the outer mitochondrial membrane. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our proprietary technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 12 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human TIMM23.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HepG2 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected TIMM23 in HepG2 cell lysate.

Tested Applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected TIMM23 in lysate from NIH/3T3 cells.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound TIMM23 peptide with at least ten thousand-fold (10,000X) higher affinity than with non-specific control peptide.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected TIMM23 in HepG2 cells and NIH/3T3 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Clone 1N16 is a ZooMAb^® recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically detects TIMM23. It targets an epitope within 12 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
